I thought you asked what other tools were available?

May I suggest switching to XML::Parser, which does not invoke any of the Old

$ man igor.1  
No manual entry for igor.1

I get that on current versions of FreeBSD and OS X, as well as on a couple of

naming an installed manpage.

Nice to know this shortcut anyway, though, so thanks.
